چکیده
Background and Aims: Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the world and in Iran as well. The incidence of this disease continues to climb. The present study was therefore aimed to investigate the copping with skin cancer among farmers in Chaldoran County in 2015. Materials and Methods: Totally, 238 farmers from the rural areas of Chaldoran County participated in this analytical-descriptive study. They were selected through a multi-stage random sampling process. A reliable and valid questionnaire used by Tazval et.al was exploited for data collection. The gathered data were analyzed by theuse of descriptive and analytic statistics in SPSS software (v. 21). A statistically significance level of p≤ 0.05 was considered. Ethical issues such as confidentiality of studied community were all considered.
Results: A statistically significant relationship was observed between the education level of participants (p=0. 001) and their income status (p=0. 025). About 12.2% of respondents showed high perceived self-efficacy towards skin cancer protective behaviors. It was further found that response self-efficacy was low among 45.5% of community. The
most of the farmers (61.8%) had moderate response cost towards skin cancer protective behaviors. The assessment of farmers copping status with skin cancer revealed that 182 (76.5%), 8 (3.4%) and 48 (20.1%) respondents have an unacceptable, borderline, and acceptable copping appraisal, respectively.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the farmers’ coping appraisal status towards skin cancer was low. Thus, it is necessary to design and implement appropriate interventions in this field. Background and Aims: Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the world and in Iran as well. The incidence of this disease continues to climb. The present study was therefore aimed to investigate the copping with skin cancer among farmers in Chaldoran County in 2015.
